(CEO Lee Yoon-kyu) announced on the 29th that it delivered daily necessities to support neighbors who may be marginalized due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, in collaboration with the Community Chest of Korea and the nonprofit organization Hope Sharing People.


Aekyung Industrial donated daily necessities such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap worth approximately 3.2 billion KRW based on consumer prices to the Community Chest of Korea to help vulnerable groups whose economic situations have worsened due to COVID-19 manage their personal hygiene.
